Hello folks, Got this coin at an estate auction. Wasn't a bargain but I think I got it for a decent price. What do you think it would grade? Interesting note: The previous owner of this coin purchased it in 2004 for $115. Thanks, Joe2007   |

I could agree with EF-45, but I don't see it as cleaned.

XF45, but if that's a scratch reverse and not a die crack, I'd drop it to XF40 net. Does not APPEAR to be cleaned, but DOES appear to have been stored in such a way that it toned rather unevenly.

Solid XF40 with good eye appeal, I like it. $115 in 2004 sounds like under wholesale even then.

EF-45, too. On the cleaning issue, it looks as though somebody, anybody, in the past has thumb-rubbed some of the fields and maybe the shield on the reverse. That doesn't mean it has been cleaned, does it?
I mean, unless somebody pulled a coin out of circulation and "preserved" it in some kind of holder and then it's only handled by the rims from that point forward, people are going to thumb-rub it. I do it all the time with older circulation coins.
How many times does a coin come back with a details verdict because somebody thumb rubbed it a hundred years ago?
Ok, I'm done.
